David Shields is the internationally bestselling author of twenty-two books, including Reality Hunger and The Thing About Life Is That One Day You’ll Be Dead. Bret Easton Ellis is the bestselling author of Less Than Zero, The Rules of Attraction, American Psycho, and most recently White. Kristoffer Borgli is a remarkable nobody, who is, like many these days, trying to find his footing in mediums in which he might not belong.
